Having Trouble with Internet Explorer

I am having trouble viewing my blog with internet explorer. I can view it in Firefox fine. I am trying to figure out what is happening that makes it impossible to view in internet explorer. It simply says the blog is unavailable. I also had trouble with twitter and internet explorer recently.

My blog is:

Have tried from IE7 no problem, maybe it comes from YOUR IE ?

Have tried from IE8 without problem. Looks fine.

My site is experiencing the same problem with Explorer..... at least certain versions of it.... and I'm noticing that the error pops up when the blog catalog widget tries to load.... I'm not 100% certain that this is the problem spot though...

Firefox loads fine, and some explorer users are logging on, however I noticed that the percentage of explorer users logging on have greatly diminished. There most certainly is a problem.

I've discovered the problem. The widget that is crashing Explorer on blogs all over the internet is the Google Follower widget.

Forums are popping up all over the place on this issue.

After removing it, explorer should load your blog normally...

From what I understand, this problem is striking blogger blogs who have the Google follower widget installed - and blogger is trying to correct the issue.

I would rather keep the Google Followers Widget. Eventually, I am hoping they will fix it. It seems to be working a bit better today. I do find the Followers Widget for Google a bit annoying because half of the time it is not up.

i was getting errors in IE such as this one in the following screenshot i42.tinypic.com/28mp949.jpg on both my blogs while logged out of blogger but not while i was logged in however it didn't show the errors on the main page only when a single post was viewed it was happening on a few blogs i visited on both my laptop using vista and my desktop Pc using windows Xp i solved this by switching from the embedded comment form to a popup window until it gets fixed

Followers widget wouldn't finish loading my blog and Explorer was always crashing. I waited and waited for someone (Google?)to fix it. They appear not to be interested in helping with this problem, and many can't read the blogs that have added Followers widget. I can't reach wehireu's blog, for instance.

Now I have removed my Followers widget. There are no problems any more.
